We're Working to Get a Handle on Vanilla

We're working to get a handle on Vanilla because of the current world wide shortage due to the increase in demand for natural vanilla. Prices have skyrocketed along with demand while peoples taste for Organic products have grown. With prices up nearly 600% over the past 3 years Sneakz wants to gurantee we can still find organic, sustainabily sourced vanilla. That is why we are working with Alan Chambers to see if organic vanilla can be grown in South Florida.

READ: Jeff Robbins, managing director of Sneakz Organic, a Jupiter-based maker of organic milkshakes, drove to Homestead last week to meet with Chambers and get the scoop on growing vanilla. His shakes and meal replacement products are made with real ingredients, but vanilla is sometimes prohibitively expensive.

“We are committed to making products with pure and organic ingredients, so it would be great to secure a reliable supplier or even produce the vanilla ourselves,” Robbins said.
